Default Bumps on anemone

I have an anemone that is part of the condylactis family. I've had it for about four months and in the last week it has started to get little white (the same color as its tentacles) bumps on its foot. It is still eating well and everyhting else in the tank is fine. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

When you say "conylactis family" I assume you talking about Florida Pink-tipped anemone, and not the larger carpet anemones?
the small bumps on the foot and underside of the disk are called verrucae, and they are a common feature on many species. I don't recall if they are typical for the Condys, but they are nothing to worry about.

If the anemone is healthy, the tentacles should eventually get darker -- at least to a color that you cannot describe as "white". The verrucae on Heteractis anemones (the genus I have more experience with) come in various colors.
